Well, I’ve finished Bridge to Terabithia, ya see. I had to read it so I could see the movie, which my mom recorded for us to watch. Of course, this would just make the experience better, because--you guessed it--Bridge to Terabithia was awesome!

So, there is this kid named Jess Aarons, ya see, and he falls in love with a girl in his class named Leslie Burke. Only, no one is actually comfortable. She seems unusual for a girl, with short hair and interests in gymnastics and scuba diving, along with the fact that her parents only moved away from Washington to not live like rich people. And thus, she has no TV or anything of the sort. So, Jess and Leslie make a place for them to be together, a magical kingdom called Terabithia. Actually, they just pretend it’s there. This book is kind of, how should I put this…realistic? Still, it’s better than it sounds. There are several other main characters, too, like Jess’s sisters, Mrs. Mayers (Jess’s teacher), Miss Edmunds (Jess’s music teacher), and Prince Terrian (the dog Jess buys Leslie for Christmas, whom she dubs the prince of Terabithia). Meanwhile, something happens to one of these main characters, but I’m keeping my mouth shut!

So, I know it doesn’t sound so great, but it seems like I never make plots sound as good as they really are! So, buy this book. Now.
